5W's and an H: THE DEVIL (by Zanna)

Today's edition of 5W's and an H features the Sharman-Caselli Tarot by Juliet Sharman-Burke, illustrated by Giovanni Caselli (Eddison Sadd Editions).

To refresh your memory: For the 5W's and an H exercise, we use one Tarot card to answer the questions Who? What? When? Where? Why? and How? As an additional requirement, each answer can be only one phrase or sentence. The idea is to respond intuitively, without a lot of description or explanation.

The card: THE DEVIL

I seem to be drawing some heavy hitters lately for this exercise! Last month it was Judgment. Now, we have The Devil.

Who? Someone who is addicted to something, or so fixated on something that he or she can't see beyond appearances.

What? Something that blocks or hinders progress, development, or growth.

When? When you permit repression and oppression of your spirit.

Where? In the place where your innermost fears and feelings reside.

Why? Because what you see is NOT all there is.

How? By accepting and understanding your shadow side so that its energy can be used productively.
